The decision tree
How a write gets classified
amount = abs(write.amount)

if   amount < 5_000:    return GREEN   # auto-post
elif amount < 50_000:   return YELLOW  # auto-post + async Slack alert
elif amount < 500_000:  return RED     # HITL approval required (30-min SLA)
else:                   return BLACK   # manual escalation only

# Regulated accounts (suspense · intercompany) always escalate to BLACK
# regardless of amount
